Överraskande god då jag inte brukar vara jätteimponerad av Launois standardcuvée men den här hade välbalanserad syra och fina mognadstoner. Enda negativa jag kan komma på är att den inte är superkrämig i moussen men en mycket bra champagne.

This is top tier. Super autolytic, hazelnuts, toast, brioche and a fresh citrus acidic backbone. 8 years on the lees. Drinking well and easily now, but definetely 10+ years left.

Drank side-by-side (blind) with the 08. Quintessentially Launois with beautiful Mesnil fruit: kaffir lime, vanilla, lovely bubbles. However, just a less expressive than the 08.

Gorgeous. On the nose, lemon oil, mineral, kaffir lime, a hint of grapefruit and a nutty richness. On the palate, lemon oil, floral notes, some almond oil. Lovely, lifted flavors with balanced acidity and density. Very clean finish.

In a great spot right now. Showing some maturity - probably not one for long-term aging

Beuatiful now, but should add more complexity with a few more years.

Super refreshing. Light gold color. Dough and yeast aromas. Boasts nut skin, pear, bread and citrus flavors. Willy Wonka stuff. Long finish. 94

These bottles are drinking great right now. On the younger side of its peak and displaying some savoury elements supported by fresh citric backbone.

100 % CH from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
Nose: Citrus, butter, nuts, toast, and a little peach.
Palate: Quite high acidity with a refreshing mouthfeel. Drinks nicely - and easily!
